1958 Map of Fort Simcoe

About this map

Fort Simcoe Historical State Park and the surrounding Yakama Nation territory are the focal points of this 1958 survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the canyon floors of Toppenish Creek and Mill Creek to the high elevations of Toppenish Ridge. Named landmarks like Whiskey Jim Flat and Barbers Flat suggest early ranching or homesteading history, while the presence of the Mill Creek Guard Station and numerous private logging routes like Hitchcocks Logging Road highlight the importance of forest management and timber in this era.
